Grand Teton National Park
With an elevation of 13,775ft, Grand Teton is the highest peak in the park and one of eight with an elevation above 12,000ft.
Lined up side-by-side like a jagged comb, these glacier-carved peaks pack a visual punch as they shoot from the valley floor. They also look impenetrable when driving between Jackson and Yellowstone, but first-glance views are deceiving. More than 240 miles of trails crisscross the park, some twisting past wildflowers, meadows, and lakes in the front-country while others follow canyons deep into the Teton Range and the backcountry. Gentle Jenny Lake, stretching along the eastern front-country, is an inviting spot to soak up the mountain views.
Rocky Mountain road trip
Exploring the national parks of the Northern Rockies
The national parks of the northern Rocky Mountains share a few iconic features— snow-capped peaks, shimmering lakes, bright wildflowers—but it's their individual characteristics that give a Rockies road trip its appeal. Elk and bighorn sheep keep things wild at Rocky Mountain National Park while the rugged Grand Tetons are a photogenic showstopper. Yellowstone has its geysers while Glacier National Park keeps it real with grizzlies...read more

Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks are the focus of this journey, sitting side by side, yet offering such complementary landscapes and opportunities. The combination of prolific wildlife, unique geothermal activity, and sheer beauty is simply unmatched.
From Bozeman, a trip along the Yellowstone River through the Paradise Valley leads us to our first stop, Yellowstone’s Mammoth Hot Springs. Before checking in to our accommodations, we’ll stroll the boardwalks around Mammoth’s subtly beautiful travertine terraces. Get to know about the park’s wildlife and history with a visit to the Albright Visitor Center. Wake early to begin the journey to the heart of the park, where we settle for two nights. With an eye out for wildlife – always! – we travel over Dunraven Pass, stop at the dramatic Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, look for wildlife in Hayden Valley, and follow the shores of Yellowstone Lake to Old Faithful. There will be time before and after dinner to catch an eruption of Old Faithful Geyser.
Our next day is all about gushing geysers, colorful thermal pools, and bubbling mud pots. Next stop, Jackson Hole, where the craggy Tetons cast their shadow. From a wonderful lodge in town, we spend days hiking in the Rockefeller Preserve, boating across Jenny Lake, strolling around the Jackson Town Square, and floating a scenic stretch of the Snake River.
